Thoughts And Ramblings From The Life Of A Baptist Preacher

Monthly Archives: August 2011

I praise the Lord for what He is doing at Calvary. Last Wednesday evening, after the service, a fifty something lady in our church came to me to tell me that she wanted to be saved. She was under deep conviction and she bowed before God and called on Him for salvation. On Sunday, she stood and testified about her salvation experience. The Lord swept in and we rejoiced with our new sister in Christ. What makes this lady’s conversion so spectacular is the fact that she has been a member of Calvary since the 60’s, and she always lived a clean, good life. God, in His grace, touched her heart and showed her that she was lost. Thank God she is saved now! Hallelujah!

Then, on Monday, I received a call from a man in the church asking me to call his daughter. I did and she answered the phone and told me that she had been saved as well. This young woman is 20 years old and has been in church all her life. She made a profession at the age of eight, but she was not saved until Monday. Again, I say “Hallelujah!”

I praise the Lord that He is still honoring His Word. I praise Him that He is still convicting sinners and saving them by His grace. I praise Him that in spite of the trials and difficulties of the last 18 months, God is proving Himself greater than all obstacles and opposition. He is adding to His church, just as He said He would.

Rejoice with us in the salvation of these two women. Pray with us that others in our church and community will be saved.
